Common Turkic or Shaz Turkic is a proposed genetic unit in some classifications of the Turkic languages, a sub-branch that includes all of them except the Oghuric languages, which had diverged earlier.

Classification
editLars Johanson's proposal contains the following subgroups:[1]
- Southwestern Common Turkic (Oghuz)
- Northwestern Common Turkic (Kipchak)
- Southeastern Common Turkic (Karluk)
- Northeastern Common Turkic (Siberian)
- Arghu (Khalaj)
In that classification scheme, Common Turkic is opposed to the Oghuric languages (Lir-Turkic). The Common Turkic languages are characterized by sound correspondences such as Common Turkic š versus Oghuric l and Common Turkic z versus Oghuric r.
Siberian Turkic is split into a "Central Siberian Turkic" and "North Siberian Turkic" branch within the classification presented in Glottolog v4.8.[2]
In other classification schemes (such as those of Alexander Samoylovich and Nikolay Baskakov), the internal classification is different.[3][4]
